Creating a File Attribute List

Type a name for the file attribute list. The name must not
exceed 100 bytes in length and cannot contain the
following characters:

> < * ^ | & ? \ /

Type a description that does not exceed 256 bytes in
length.

Select your preferred true file types.

If a file type you want to include is not listed,
select File extensions and then type the file type’s
extension. Data Loss Prevention checks files with the specified extension but
does not check their true file types. Guidelines when specifying file
extensions:

Each extension must start with
an asterisk (*), followed by a period (.), and then the extension. The
asterisk is a wildcard, which represents a file’s actual name. For
example, *.pol matches
12345.pol and
test.pol.

You can include wildcards in extensions. Use a
question mark (?) to represent a single character and an asterisk (*) to
represent two or more characters. See the following examples:

- *.*m matches the following files:
ABC.dem, ABC.prm,
ABC.sdcm

- *.m*r matches the following
files: ABC.mgdr, ABC.mtp2r,
ABC.mdmr

- *.fm? matches the following
files: ABC.fme, ABC.fml,
ABC.fmp

Be careful when adding an asterisk at the end
of an extension as this might match parts of a file name and an
unrelated extension. For example: *.do* matches
abc.doctor_john.jpg and
abc.donor12.pdf.

Use semicolons (;) to separate file extensions.
There is no need to add a space after a semicolon.

Type the minimum and maximum file sizes in bytes. Both
file sizes must be whole numbers larger than zero.
